Today I moved my BLOG and Gallery2 to a new server, colocated in a datacenter provided by Easycolocate.
This was needed as my server at home was running from my private cable modem with DHCP address and the address changes more often than not. Next to that, lately the Internet connection seems to be instable, which resulted in downtime of my websites.
Pebbles is still up and running at home and is being messed around with but for my production sites I need something more stable and performing.

As you can imagine, the CPU of a SparcStation 20 is not the fastest CPU around these days and lacks a lot of features for optimimal performance in comparsion to the CPUs available these days. Still, with its limitations in terms of clock speed and register capabilities, like many other old CPUs regardless the architecture, can be used these days in the modern application solutions, with its speed limitations and not as fast as it’d run on a T2000 or V880 of course. The magic word is caching.

Still running on the same hardware specs as day 0 but with a slightly different software configuration, just to mess around and see what does good and what does not.
